Palestinian Authority’s rule in Gaza ‘suicidal step’: Israeli minister
JERUSALEM (AA) – Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli said Sunday that the return of the Palestinian Authority to the Gaza Strip will be a “suicidal step.”
“Gaza must be ruled by Israel or by an international force for a year or two,” Chikli told Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.
He argued that the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority “is the most anti-Semitic body on Earth.”
Allowing the Palestinian Authority to rule Gaza “will be a suicidal step,” he said.
There was no comment from the Palestinian Authority on the Israeli minister’s statements.
Israel has pounded the Gaza Strip since an attack by Hamas on Oct. 7, which Tel Aviv says killed nearly 1,140 people. It has killed at least 25,105 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 62,681, according to Palestinian health authorities.
The Israeli offensive has left 85% of Gaza’s population internally displaced amid acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine.
